Wired for War
At the moment, 12,000 robots are fighting the war on terror; one day human soldiers may even be obsolete. P.W. Singer's last two books foretold the advent of private military firms and child soldiers. Both proved to be unnervingly accurate.

Guest:
P.W. Singer, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, coordinator of the Obama-08 campaign's defense policy task force, author of Wired for War
